DAILY MAINTENANCE
When operating the power rake, check the tractor
hydraulic system to be sure the level of hydraulic oil
is adequate. If necessary, add hydraulic oil as
recommended in your tractor Operator’s Manual.
Repair hydraulic oil leaks promptly to avoid loss of oil
and serious personal injury from escaping oil.
After every 10 hours of operation, check all hardware
and tighten where required.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Lubricate all pivot points. Lightly lubricate bearing at
each end of roller (1-2 pumps). Use a lithium grease
of #2 consistency with a MOLY (molybdenum
disulfide) additive for all locations. Be sure to clean
fittings thoroughly before attaching grease gun. See
Figure 3.
Check tire pressure. Maintain 60 psi cold.
Lubricate driveline universal joints.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Inspect and clean safety decals. Replace if damaged.
(See
“Safety Decals” section for location.)
Inspect drive chain.
Check gearbox oil level.
QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE
Change oil in chain case and add 1.5 pints of #00 fluid
gear grease.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
The best maintenance is regular preventive checks,
particularly when the machine is new. Check that all
nuts and bolts are tight.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE
The drive chain should be inspected monthly. New
chain has a tendency to stretch, so it is necessary to
check the chain tension to prevent flopping around, thus
causing potential problems.
Chain tension is preset with the extension spring. If
the chain becomes excessively loose, it may be
necessary to remove one link (two pitches). If unable
to reassemble, add an offset link to lengthen the chain.
IMPORTANT
•
Replacement chain should be only high
quality original equipment chain for longer life.
When being stored for a long period or at end of season,
change the oil, adding #00 fluid gear grease and rotate
the roller several times allowing the chain to be coated
with lubricant, enhancing chain life. Rotate the roller
periodically to maintain lubrication.
SPROCKETS
Sprockets should be checked to be sure slotted hex nut
is tight, the cotter pin is in place, and the sprocket cannot
move on shaft.
PTO DRIVE LINES
Periodically check the yokes on both ends of the front
and side PTO’s. Make sure the set screws/jam nuts
are tight and the yoke is not moving on the shaft. PTO
shafts and U-joints should be sparingly lubricated
weekly.
GEARBOX
The gearbox is almost maintenance-free, but should
be checked monthly to be sure that the oil level is
maintained at half full. EP 80-90 wt. gear lube is rec-
ommended for use in the gearbox. Oil should be
changed after the first 100 hours or 30 days of operat-
ing. Then, normal change intervals of 1,000 hours or
12 months of operation should be adequate. In the
case of seasonal usage, it is best to change the oil at
the end of the season to remove moisture and corro-
sive contaminants.
It should be noted that the gearbox only exceeds its
thermal capacity when the oil temperature exceeds
200°F.
